Some Engel Conditions on Finite Subsets of Certain Groups

چکیده
Let nand k be positive integers. We say that a group G satisfies the condition £(n) (respectively, £dn)) if and only if any set with n + 1 elements of G contains two distinct elements x, y such that [x,t y] = 1 for some positive integer t = t(x, y) (respectively, [X,k y] = 1). Here we study certain groups satisfying these conditions. We prove that if G is a finite group satisfying the condition £(n), then G is nilpotent if n < 3 and G is soluble if n < 16. If G is a finitely generated soluble group satisfying the condition £(2), then G is nilpotent. If k and n are positive integers and G is a finitely generated residually finite group satisfying the condition £k(n), then G is nilpotent if n < 3 and G is polycyclic if n < 16. In particular, there is a positive integer c depending only on k such that G/ Zc (G) is finite, where Zc(G) is the (c + 1)-th term of the upper central series of G. Also these bounds cannot be improved.

Group rings satisfying generalized Engel conditions
Let R be a commutative ring with unity of characteristic r≥0 and G be a locally finite group. For each x and y in the group ring RG define [x,y]=xy-yx and inductively via [x ,_( n+1) y]=[[x ,_( n) y] , y]. In this paper we show that necessary and sufficient conditions for RG to satisfies [x^m(x,y) ,_( n(x,y)) y]=0 is: 1) if r is a power of a prime p, then G is a locally nilpotent group an...
متن کاملResults on Engel Fuzzy Subgroups
In the classical group theory there is an open question: Is every torsion free n-Engel group (for n ≥ 4), nilpotent?. To answer the question, Traustason [11] showed that with some additional conditions all 4-Engel groups are locally nilpotent. Here, we gave some partial answer to this question on Engel fuzzy subgroups. We show that if μ is a normal 4-Engel fuzzy subgroup of ...
متن کاملMaximal subsets of pairwise non-commuting elements of some finite p-groups
Let G be a group. A subset X of G is a set of pairwise noncommuting elements if xy ̸= yx for any two distinct elements x and y in X. If |X| ≥ |Y | for any other set of pairwise non-commuting elements Y in G, then X is said to be a maximal subset of pairwise non-commuting elements. In this paper we determine the cardinality of a maximal subset of pairwise non-commuting elements in any non-abelian...
متن کاملPairwise non-commuting elements in finite metacyclic $2$-groups and some finite $p$-groups
Let $G$ be a finite group. A subset $X$ of $G$ is a set of pairwise non-commuting elements if any two distinct elements of $X$ do not commute. In this paper we determine the maximum size of these subsets in any finite non-abelian metacyclic $2$-group and in any finite non-abelian $p$-group with an abelian maximal subgroup.
